We are pleased to announce Pants 2.27.0, the latest release of Pantsbuild, the scalable and ergonomic build system. To update, set pants_version = "2.27.0" in your pants.toml. If you're not using Pants yet, get started now.

Thank you to Klaviyo for their Platinum tier sponsorship throughout this release!

Highlights in 2.27 include:

  • 🏖️ The Sandboxer feature, to fix a pernicious ETXTBSY race condition.
  • 🪵 Local and remote processes now log their action and command digests, for ease of debugging.
  • ↗️ Several built-in tools have had the default versions upgraded.
  • 🐋 Stats logging now includes histograms by default.
  • 🐞 And a whole bunch of updates, bugfixes, and general improvements.

Check out the full release notes. Pants is an open-source project, and the changes are all contributed by our community. If you want to see something more in the next changelog, join us on GitHub and become a contributor.

We also offer formal sponsorship tiers for companies, as well as individual sponsorships via GitHub. These help pay for the ongoing development and hosting costs, and are managed by the Pants Build non-profit organization.

Some Pants maintainers also offer paid consulting for adopting and customizing Pants for your company's needs.
